  • C.9. Ctenochaetus Binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology C.9.2. Size
    C.9. Ctenochaetus binotatus (Itingan) C.9.1. General Biology Inhabits coral and rubble areas of deep lagoon and seaward reefs. Usually solitary, grazing on surface algae. Feeds by scooping film of detritus and unicellular algae (e.g. dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus) that produce ciguatera toxin making this species a key link in the ciguatera food chain. Commonly caught by nets. Distributed in Indo-Pacific: East Africa to the Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Figure xx. The target species, Ctenochaetus inotatus central New South Wales (Australia) and New Caledonia. Not known from the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, the Gulf, the Hawaiian Islands, Marquesas, Rapa, Pitcairn Islands, and Easter Island. (source: FishBase) C.9.2. Size Distribution A total of 162 fish individuals of Ctenochaetus binotatus were measured to the nearest centimeter. Measured length were from both the weekly measurements of the enumerators and biological samples brought Figure xx. Size distribution of Ctenochaetus binotatus with corresponding Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. to the lab. The smallest individual measured 7.0 cm SL and the largest is 17.0 cm SL. Approximately 30% of the total catch is below the computed Lm50 of C. striatus of this study. Since, there is no available data and literatures regarding the length at which it reaches maturity, we will use the estimated Lm50 and Lm95 of C. striatus. C.9.3. Gonadal Maturation and Maturation Curve Only 5 biological specimens were brought to the lab for examination. Out of 5 samples, 4 were males and only 1 female. All were staged as mature.

  • Estimation of Fatty Acid Profile and Proximate
    ESTIMATION OF FATTY ACID PROFILE AND PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF CANTHIDERMIS MACULATA (BLOCH, 1786) (TETRADONTIFORMES, BALISTIDAE) COLLECTED FROM SOUTHERN COAST OF SRI LANKA 1WILLIAMS S.S., 2MUNASINGHE D.H.N. 1,2Department of Zoology, University of Ruhuna,Sri Lanka. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - Rough oceanic triggerfish Canthidermis maculata (Bloch, 1786) belongs to family Balistidae and has year round availability as the main by-catch species in tuna fishery industry. Due to high availability and low market value, this species gain low demand in the local market. Further, the society believes that the taste of this fish species is similar to chicken and therefore chicken dishes are prepared with the substitution of C. maculata. Due to lack of knowledge gap of nutritional value of this species, the objective of current study was to estimate nutritional components of C. maculata in order to popularize it as a food source to fulfill nutritional requirement of the society. Fish samples were collected from fish landing sites of three regions (Mirissa, Dondra and Tangalle) in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Samples from commercially demanded fish species Cephalopholis sonnerati (Tomato Hind) and chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) were analyzed in order to compare the proximate values of C. maculata. Samples were collected from three individuals of each species and each sample was analyzed in triplicates. Fatty acid profile of C. maculata was determined by Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) Test with gas chromatographic technique. Analyses revealed that flesh samples of C. maculata contained important fatty acids such as Eicosapentaenoic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid in high amounts with other essential fatty acids.

  • First Record of a Filefish, Thamnaconus Tessellatus (Monacanthidae: Tetraodontiformes) from Jeju Island, Korea

The specimen is characterized by both head and body with many dark brown spots densely, posterior margin of caudal fin no black, first dorsal spine originates the posterior half of eye, and 34~37 dorsal fin rays. This is the first record of T. tessellatus in Korea; we therefore add the species to the Korean fish fauna. According to the Yamada et al. (1995), we propose the Korean name, “Nam­byeol­jwi­chi” for this species. Key words: Monacanthidae, Thamnaconus tessellatus, deep-water leatherjacket, new Korean record, Jeju Island INTRODUCTION is characterized by fully erected first dorsal­fin spine (not enveloped in a loose, prominent flap of skin), pelvic fin The family Monacanthidae of the order Tetraodonti­ rudiment moderate and located at posterior end of pelvis, formes is widely distributed throughout the world, with body depth equal to or greater than length of head length, 107 species in 28 genera (Nelson et al., 2016).
